my Reflect on the live
session we had with Peggy. Last week I had the class about "how does Arabic
influence the Pronunciation of English?" with Ms. Peggy Tharpe . it was virtual classroom for 52 minuets and only 15 students and 2 teacher
were presented. She talked about the difference between the sound system in Arabic
and English language and suggest some solution for this problem.
Virtual classroom is describing
as an on-line education using Internet, where teacher and student are separated
by time or space. Virtual classroom is an revolutionary change in ESL/EFL
learning. For teacher is a new methodological resource where it can found a
variety of material for teach ESL/EFL.
There have advantages and
disadvantages of virtual rooms in the
language classroom. The advantage are Students develop their
language and critical thinking skills. When assistance is needed, tutor/teacher
are available like in a real classroom. Virtual class is accessible via Internet
24 hours a day, 7 days of week for student. With the help of modern technology,
an ESL/EFL teacher can create his or her own virtual classroom. Students
receive the content and communicate with the teacher via internet. Students do
not have to go to the real class to learn.
The disadvantage are The
institution does not have enough economy resources in order to implement a
virtual classroom. Lack of motivation from students and teachers in the use of
technology for the teaching and learning process. Students do not have access
to personal computer at home. Teachers do not have knowledge in how to manage
technology resources.
At the end, I will
consider the use of virtual
classroom in the teaching and learning
ESL/EFL. I think it create a different
atmosphere in education program. Student will acquire knowledge and experiment
a new way of learn using technological resources such as; studying a video,
reading a textbook chapter, discussions of problems, solving exercises,
